My RC100

[MRGRUMPY]

Here is my very tatty RC100 purchased on E-bay in September.
Much worse than listed but never mind.
Currently keeping my 2 RC200's company until i get time to restore her.

Very nice mate are you changing the seat

Thanks,yes,it came with a grey Flite,but the leather is totally knackered,as is the foam.I may try to re-cover it or get a new one if any body has one.
I need to rebuild the wheels,as they are bent and the magura's need new hoses,which I have,but have not had time to fit.
The campagnolo front mech. is also shot,so I need a braze-on XT m735 or similar if anybody has one spare.

Must have missed this when you first posted it...looks lush..how's the build coming along mate?

Hi Rich,super slow I am afraid.Just bought a cottage which needs some! work.The RC100 needs repainting,the wheels need rebuilding and the Magura's are shot.Apart from that,she's a beauty!!.
Hope to get the garage clear at the new place and then start on her over the winter,she rides great,even in her neglected state.

they make the best builds mate...good luck with your cottage too

RC100 updates

My knackered RC100 is just about mechanically sorted,soon to be off for paint!!
Please excuse the mess in the background,this is my workplace and NOT my garage!!

dont repaint it, some bikes look better for a few war wounds. Keep this as a rider, the pace you dont mind getting covered in gunk and ridden hard on gravely sections. You have 2 others are they mint?

The green RC200 is mint,but still gets ridden hard,as does this.The corrosion on it is really bad and I hate to see it in this state.If it was just a bit scratched I would live with it but the paint is too far gone,neglect rather than use methinks.
